Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

same goes for redtube.com.

IHS, with the money you are saving up right now, you should try to swing a trip somewhere before grad school. I recommend SE Asia, not only because of the vibrant sex trade but also because there is a strong backpacking culture where it is easy to meet lots of other backpackers and girls from all over the world. Plus with all the cheap booze, drugs, food, accommodation, and beautiful exotic beaches, everyone is down to have meaningful sex. Airfare is the most expensive part. Once you are there you can follow the backpacker trail i.e. find recommendations where other backpackers are staying [easy conversation starter].

Everyone loves music and with your knowledge you will have an easy time striking up conversations that will lead to other interesting topics and exploration opportunities. I think this would really help build your confidence up.

Which race or culture do you connect with the most?

Yes, I realized, ha. Hmm American culture is the most honest answer. I know a lot about Persian culture though from taking language courses for over a year and making many of my friends in those courses.

Just 2011 and 2012. Although this year had more stuff that I liked on paper, 2011 was more about discovery which made for a better experience. I bought my ticket and made plans to go 3 days before the fest, so I had no time to research bands or much of anything else. Ended up having a great time. Also I must have aged a lot in the last year or something but I felt tired constantly this year.

Sigh, the mistakes of a 13 year old boy I came up with the username 12 years ago and thought it was so cool. I liked the hot/cold dichotomy and thought "Hotshot" was just a great word. I have a bad habit of signing up with this nickname on forums when I only intend to hang out for a post or two, and then occasionally I end up sticking around and I'm cursed with this atrocity.

2. algunz - she's obviously intelligent and well grounded, I think we could have good conversations
3. ods... - we were supposed to meet at concerts a few times already. I dig his style and taste.
4. wmgaretjax - knows a lot about experimental music, I want to dig in his collection
5. Robin - so she can get drunk and tell me the cruel cruel truths about what I'm doing wrong with my life.
6. Mugwog - I find him very entertaining on the boards, surely he must be similarly entertaining in person
7. TallGuyCM - he lives in the same area as me. would be cool to find a fellow music nerd in my neighborhood

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

Paul, If you saw a bank robbery happen and right before the robber got caught you saw him ditch 50,000 dollars. You were the only person to see this. Would you turn the money in or keep it for yourself?
